querafansible
Any object or thingamajig specifically kept in bathrooms, particularly if it's a complex gadget with lots of buttons.
Coined in 'Time Enough for Love' by Robert A. Heinlein, where he described a "companion querafansible with sophisticated controls". In the science fiction universe of the book, this may possibly refer to the equivalent of a smart toilet, a control panel for the shower, or any sort of more futuristic appliance that your imagination fancies.

Sorry, I knocked your querafansibles all over the bathroom floor.
Is that querafansible a teleportation device? I never knew there were planets where they used those in the bathroom.
There's a sale at Lowe's. Only 10% off kitchen appliances, but querafansibles are half price!

anacosmy
When something or someone is not in its correct universe, dimension or cosmic location. Another word for anacosmism, especially to describe the feeling thereof. In the same way that a 'feeling of anachrony' means to feel as if one is in the wrong time.
An error of the anacosmy kind goes beyond mere 'anatopy' (where something is in the wrong geographic location but at least on the correct planet). Anacosmy can label errors in fantasy literature where people or things described are specific to Earth and ought not to exist in the fictional universe of the work.

A feeling of anacosmy washed over Erika as she realized the people around her were just... fundamentally wired differently to her. A strange sort of cosmic loneliness, as if she'd accidentally teleported to another Earth in a parallel dimension.
anacosmism
Something or someone that is not in its correct universe, dimension or cosmic location. Coined by Jennifer Diane Reitz to label errors in fantasy literature where people or things described are specific to Earth and ought not to exist in the fictional universe of the work.
These errors go beyond mere 'anatopism' (referring to something is in the wrong geographic location but at least on the correct planet). Also analogous to anachronism, where something is in the wrong time.

If a sci-fi novel set in the Andromeda galaxy used the months January to June, that would be an anacosmism because the Roman Empire and their calendar never existed in Andromeda.

fitsplain
When a healthy person blessed with good metabolism condescendingly explains things to someone less privileged than themselves. They've most likely never struggled with abnormal blood pressure, eating disorders, their body image, allergies, or any other disorders which would interfere with their ability to keep fit. Fitsplainers particularly enjoy wasting time lifting weights, training for marathons and spending exorbitant amounts of money on food and supplements.
"Losing weight is easy. Just get a good night's sleep, get up early, and train and exercise in the morning. You don't have to spend all your time on your kids."
Person 1: "You need to spend the extra money on organic food if you want to overcome your irritable bowel syndrome."
Person 2 "Way to fitsplain something you know nothing about, you ignoramus."

dumbboggled
To be both dumbfounded and mindboggled simultaneously. When you're in disbelief that something could possibly exist, and yet there it is right in front of you, looming over you and confusing the hell out of you as to how it even got there.
Greg received a video message from his 3-year-old daughter who was at preschool, and was dumbboggled to discover it was a feature-length remake of Cleopatra starring her alongside Christopher Walken, complete with A-grade special effects.
Mya arrived home and walked into her bathroom, only to be dumbboggled by the sight of a 7ft bronze statue of Buddha where the bath used to be.
